Rodent 3 vs Rodent Solution

Watching the last few episodes of Breaking Bad on Netflix, and took these with the phone. They're pretty crappy, but you get the idea. Hope it helps.

As you can see, you get almost as much blade on the R3 for much less handle vs. the RS. The RS has a convex primary grind with rounded spine, whereas the R3 is a full-flat grind with flat spine.

ETA - The R3 is 0.165" thick, and the coated RS is 0.185". Basically, they're the same thickness after accounting for the coating.
